IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—This Day. The business of the session of Parliament for 1864 ter minated to-day. At 3 o'clock the Lord Chancellor, Ear de Grey and Ripon, Lord Wensleydale, Earl St. Germans and Lord Sydney entered the house robbed as Royal Coin missioners, and, having taken their seats in front of the throne, The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the Usher of the Black Rod to inform the Commons that their lordships desired their immediate attendance in that house. Ina few minutes afterwards the Speaker of the House of Commons, accompanied by Lord Palmerston, Sir V. Grey, and a large number of other members, appeared at the bar. The LORD CHANCELLOR then informed them that her Majesty, not thinking it fit to attend and prorogue Par liament in person, had directed the same to be done by royal commission.

Mr FORSTER gave notice that he would move, next session, for an alteration in the standing order No, 7. FIRE INSURANCE, Mr SHERIDAN gave notice that, next session, he would repeat the motion he had made for a reduction in the insurance duty on house and stock property. THE DANO-GERMAN QUESTION. In reply to Sir H. VERNEY, Lord P ALMERSTON was understood to say that, so long as the Conference was sitting in this country, the Government interfered, but at present they did not think to the themselves bound to make any proposals in reference subject. THE WOUNDED RIFLEMAN. Mr H. B. SHERIDAN asked the Under Secretary of State for War whether the 20th n sectio of th Volunteer Act of 1863 would apply to the case ()1 a privaate (W Lodge, 146, Cannon street -road, St. George's-in-the-East,) of the Third London Rifle Volunteer Regiment, who was disabled while under offici al inspection,and therefore in actual military service, viz., on the 16th of May, 1864, at West-end Park, Kilburn—the section referred to being as follows :--" A volunteer, or non-commissioned officer of the volunteer permanent staff, disabled on actual military service shall, according to his rank, be entitled to th e M e like pensioa and other benefit s, if any, as a soldier ofa jesty's army." Mr HUTT, in the absenc e M e of the Marquis oi Harting ton, said that,unfortunately, xcept in the case of injuries inflicted in consequence of an invasion of the entitled t countr o y, a a m ember of the Volunteer corps would not be pension. PRISON MINISTERS ACT. Mr HENNESSY called attention to the proceedings oi the Middlesex magistrates with reference to the Prison Ministers Act; and moved an address for papers. He said that a petition numerously signed had been presented against the practice that prevailed at Coldbath-field Prison, in conformity with the instructions of the visiting jus tices of Middlesex. That practice had reference to the manner in which Roman Catholic prisoners were treated in regard to being compelled to receive spiritual instruction from scripture readers and clergymen of the Church of England, which he contended was in direct contravention of the Prison Ministers Act, and the spirit upon which legislation had proceeded in dealing with Roman Catholic convicts, in order to prevent their con • scientious feeling being outraged under the circumstances in which they were p laced. He denounced in strong terms the conduct of the visiting justices, which he argued was a proof that the old feeling o f animosi t y e against members of the Roman Ca t h olic body as stillexistence in t country,and developed itself frequently notwithstanding the alleged feeling of religious tolerance which was stated t prevail. Mr NEWDEGATE defended the justices of Middlesex from the imputation of the hon. and learned member. H e said that Mr Pennell (the chairman of that body) w as a guarantee that nothing of an unfair description would be sanctioned by him. He read the resolution agreed to by the justices wh ich prohibitedinterference with the spiritual instruction of the prisoners. Sir G. GREY said that his attention had been drawn to this subject, and from iLquiries he had made he was quite satisfied that there "as no toundatiou for the charges that had been made against the justices of Middlesex, a nd he THAMES. A RUFFIAN PROPERLY PurasuED.—Dennis Connor, an Irish coal -whipper, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with committing a violent assault on Police-con stable Reid, Ito. 66 H, in the Leman-street station-house, Whitechapel. Last night a police-constable, named Thomas Paine, 94 H, took the prisoner into custody for striking a German in his presence, and escorted him to the station-house. While stating the charge the prisoner deliberately struck Reid, who was standing by, on the mouth, and knocked him down. The constable's mouth was swollen and injured. Mr Paget asked the constable if he had anything to do with the charge against the prisoner. Reid —Nothing at all, sir. Mr Paget—Only standing by and looking on. duty;he was the There Reid—That is all, sir. Mr Paget—And not on pol ice duty ? Archer, an older police - c onstable, 101 H, here said—l r beg ese pardon,reserve man si r, on the spe constablespecial dutyin was oil the station-house. is a reserve man on duty in every station-house in the metropolitan police district day and night. The prisoner muttered that he was drunk last night, and knew nothing about the matter. He never saw the con stable before. Mr Paget—And you strike him a cowardly blow in the station-house without the semblance of provocation. Reid—The prisoner struck me with a belt four months' ago, and Mr Partridge then let him go on his paying 55, and in default 14 days imprisonment. Mr Paget—Did he pay the fine? • • Reid—Yes, he did, sir. Mr Paget said the prisoner should not have the opportu• nity of paying any fine now. The prisoner had committed a most dastardly assault on a police constable, and the sen tence was that he be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was moderate. The trade, generally speaking, was rather quiet; nevertheless, previous quotations were supported. The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat. In most descriptions a very moderate business was transacted at the rates current on Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at late rates. There was rather more foreign barley on offer, and the barley trade ruled quiet at barely stationary prices. The malt trade was steady at previous quotations.' he supply of oats on sale was large. Both English and foreign descriptions mot a slow sa►e, and prices ruled, in some instances, the time in favour of buyers. Beans and peas are very firm, with an upward tendency in prices. For flour there was a moderate inquiry, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WREK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Although it is considered that rain is greatly needed in man y parishes, the accounts from the plantations are, on the whole, favourable.

MEXICO. Mr KINGLA.KE called attention to the state of our present relations with Mexico, and moved an humble address to her most gracious Majesty for the production of certain papers in reference to the subject. He said it was rathei anomalous that the French invasion of Mexico, which re sulted in the occupation of only a small portion of the terri tory. should have led to 39,000 French soldiers being stationed there. Lord PALMERSTON said that the policy which was pursued by this country was to enter into amicable relations with every Power, whether a monarchy or a republic, when either of their forms of government had been established. Before the Archduke Maximilian went to Mexico the Go vernment of the country had declined to enter into any re lation or treaty wilh him, as being opposed to the practice of government. However, when the people of that country recognised him, they then entered into friendly relations with him. The principal ground of complaint on the part of this country in regard to Mexico was that it had hitherto been governed by some chiefs who used their authority for the purpose of plundering and iil treating British subjects. With record to a ch a nge i n the G overnm ent of that country, it must be remembered that a large portion of the population werein favour of the sam e , not - being sati:ficd with Spanish rule, to which they had been so long subj , e!ed. PROROGATICN OF THE HOUSE. At a quarter past three o'clock, Sir AUGUSTUS CLIFFORD, Usher of the Black Rod summoned the Speaker and members to the Upper House to hoar the Royal Speech prorog uin g Parliament by corn mission. The right hon gentleman, accompanied by seve ral members, then proceeded to the house of Lords, and, after a short absence, returned. al each, the mem- The t"PEAKER having read the Roy Sp hers shook hands with the right hon. g entleman, which terminated the session of 1864. HOUSE OF COMMONS —Last Evening. EMIGRATION (AM E RICA). Lord E. HO WARD called attention to the subject of emigration to the United States of America, in reference to the prolongation of the war now raging in that country. The gravity of the subject would be his justification for bringing forward the subject at that late period of the ses sion. In consequence of his position as a member of the distress relief committee at Glossop, one of the towns most affected by the cotton distress, he found it became necessary to have a census made of the population in that district, and one of the elements of that census was the question of emigration. He found that a large emigration had prevailed from that district, and in the course of the inquiry he disco vered that it was also large from the cotton districts in gene ral. In 22 towns taken promiscuously from the cotton dis tricts—he did not know that they were the largest towns — and in the course of a few months, setting aside single men, of married men not less than 1,460 had left this country for the United States, of whom not less than 780 had deserted their wives, leaving 2,160 persons chargeable upon the rater. Besides that, he had the names of fourteen persons who had emigrated from one locality in Manchester within three months, and of these not less than twelve had deserted their wives and families, and probably most of these were young and newly-married men. These circumstances showed that there must be tome deep cause at work. It would not meet the argument to say that these men had emigrated intending afterwards to send for their wives and families, because they knew that there had been instances in which the manufacturers of America had sent for manu facturing hands from England, paying the expenses of the voyage for themselves and their families, tho agreement being that this amount was to be deducted afterwards from their wages. He had further to say that great caution was exercised by those agents who took these people out of the country, for they did not give written documents or money until the emigrants were safe on board the vessels which were to convey them to America. He would instance another case, which showed how these emigrants were dis posed of when they reached the other side of the Atlantic. He had a letter in his hand relating to the ease of a man who was a private in the Manchester volunteer, This letter was written by an efficer of that corps, who stated that a young man in his company had been decoyed to New York. A companion of his had Been an advertisement in a newspaper stating that young men were wanted in Canada, and that they would have permanent employment at the rate of 35a per week. An interview took place between this young man and his agent, and the young man agreed to go. The statement made was, that on ar riving in Canada employment would be obtained imme diately. On this understanding six men were induced to go. On arriving at Liverpool conveyances were waiting to take them to the ship. On getting on board the Virginia they found that this vessel was bound for New York, but they were told that on their arrival there they would be reshipped for Canada, When they arrived at New York they were provided Rith refreshments, and they were told that they would be conveyed to Long Island. On their arrival there two of the men enlisted at once; this young made his escape, and succeeded in getting into the hold of one of the Cunard steamers ; and on his arrival at home declared himself " a miserable victim of Yankee rascality." Nor was that a solitary instance. There was a case now before the Foreign-office in which a man named Macartney was landed at New York with a letter for £lO. He was drugged, robbed, and, while in a state of stupefaction, enlisted into the Federal navy. Ho was not enlisted voluntarily. He believed that on all the large passenger ships sailing from Liverpool agents of the Federal Government wore on board with the view of recruiting young men. He was told of such a case two days ago in which an emigrant was treated by a person on board an American passenger ship and invited to a house at New York. He accepted the invitation, he was drugged with whisky, and the next thing of which he became con scious was that he was a Federal soldier, He deserted, but was captured, and placed in gaol. If they opened any news paper, and referred to the police-sheet, similar cases would be found. He had seen the case of a man from Hull, who had been taken to an island near New York, no doubt Long Island, where he met with several other Englishmen, who had been impressed into the Federal service, and it was complained that those outrages were constantly committed. There was the case of another man who was paid a cheque for £4O, which sum he received from the Ame rican Government, and he was now in General Grant's Federal army. He looked with great concern upon the great emigration at present going on, and he advised the large manufacturers to do their utmost to stop the flow of skilled labour from their several districts. The noble lord then referred to the circumstances that occurred a short time ago in Irelend, and afterwards read extracts from letters written by those who had unfortunately been deluded into quitting England for America, all of whom advised their fellow workmen to look with the greatest suspic on upon all inducements to visit the United States at the present moment. It might ba that the wages given there would be larger than those in Eng land, yet the price of the necessaries of life were so enor mous that the lesser sum earned in England went further than that to be obtained in America. Mr Justice Fitegerald in a charge he gave the other day, referred to the terrible frequency with which such acts were committed. Within the last few days the noble lord said some papers with re gard to this question had been presented to the other house, and copies had also been distributed amongst honourable members, and ho advised every hon. member who took an interest in the question to read them, feeling assured that ho would get up from their perusal with a heart full of sor row. The scene opened very much like a melodrama, only he was sorry to say that the jocose part was very little in deed. The correspondence opened with an account of two rascale. One of them pretended that he was connected with some railway works in America, and the other (who would not be misrepresented by describing his actions as such as would well become the character of an imp of the devil) —(hear, hear) —plotted and made the necessary bargains with the people. He ac cordingly deluded 120 men to leave Ireland on a false representation of the work and the amount of wages to be paid, but on board the steamer was a man who was almost a match for him. One of the men wore his hat on the side of his head, and by that means contrived to disguise the fact that he had but one eye until they were in the middle of the ocean, Now, having but one eye did not make the man a worse labourer, but it did a worse soldier, and on the man Feeney discovering it he abused him very much, showing that his real object was to obtain men for the American arniy and not for railway works. (Hear, hear.) When the ship arrived in the docks the men were surrounded and dosed with whisky. Many of them were placed in the police cells, and collisions were stated to have occurred between the policemen and the recruiting agents, and in the end several of the men who emigrated found themselves, much against their inclination, in the Federal army. They applied naturally to our consuls for advice and assistance, and a correspondence took place bet ween our consuls and Lord Lyons and the American Government, and also between Lord Lyons and the Foreign-office upon the subject. From that correspondence, which, as he had already said, had been printed, it appeared that emigrants were made drunk, inveigled into the army, and robbed by the recruiting agents of the bounty, so that the sharks who preyed upon them made large profits; and many of she scenes which Mr Consul Lousada witnessed at Boston involuntarily recalled to his mind his experiences in Caba. It was, however, to be hoped that the publica tion of these facts would check the tr eculat ffi o a rs oftenc. (Hear.) are It was stated that many of these sp cled 500 dole and more by these transactions. The man Feeney, who took this cargo of slaves out to America, was arrested in Ireland on the charge o f endeavourin g to enlist men for the Federal army, but he was released because it was s thought he produced proper and sufficient proofs .that his enterprise was a legitimate one—that of Prcic ur : s g A rs r for a railway undertaking. (Hear.) On the withth P i 1 1 , 1861, Consul Murray wrote to Lerd Lyons r bi a j r( to getTthh: men drunk the men taken out by Feeney, tharthere. could 0 no doubt there was a systematic attempt to for the purpose of enlisting thera.. 0 'Mr men whom they first sent out to Canada to sec if labour could be who left Blackburn under the direction of Ainsworth, found there, it was to bo hoped had not shared the same fate, but Ainsworth had turned up in a wretched state at Portland, and his sallow had failed. (Hear.) His object in bringing the subject under the consideration of the house wa s to ware hi s fellow. countrymen for the future against th e se designing agents, and not for the paepose of making any barge again st the American Government. On the 3d of May, 1864, Lord Lyons, in a despatch to the Forei g n Secretary, stated that the number of British subjecLs serv ing in the United States army and navy was very conside rable. iThe most laborious, painful, and unsatisfactory part of his duty since the war had broken out was con nected with the complaints of British subjects, and no pains had been spared by himself or the consuls in inves tigating thew, and every effort was made to obtain redress in those cases that were well founded, but in few cases only had their efforts produced any satisfactory results. (Hear, hear.) Major General Dix, the military commandant at New York, had informed the American Secretary to the Navy that almost every imaginable form of fraud, outrage, and dissipation had been developed by the American re cruiting agents to obtain the recruiting bounty. Boys had been deluded from their homes ; men had been drugged ; and, in short, every artifice and fraud had been resorted to, and men labouring under incurable diseases bad been pressed into the service, in order to plunder the American Government of the bounty money. The unfortunate men from this country were deceived and kidnapped in the most scandalcus and inhuman man ner in New York. Whilst they were unconscious from drink they were clothed in the unit mu of the Federal army, and on coming to their senses they suddenly found themselves absorbed in an army, and called upon to take part in a war the objects of which they were not only igno rant of, but indifferent to its results. The noble lord then further quoted from Lord Lyons's despatches which de picted the horrors of the system in America, and which was corroborated by Major-General Dix; and in one of Lord Lyons's despatches he stated that British subjects who claimed exemption had, contrary to the general rule, been sent to the army, and many of them had been shot and others wounded pending the inquiry into the justice of their claims. In a war of defence it was the duty of every man to take up arms in support of his country ; but a war of aggression he looked upon as wicked, and those who foisted themselves into it and took part in it did no other than commit murder. It was true there were some men—filibusters or buccaneers—who drew down on them selves a certain amount of approbation from a large portion of mankind ; but he doubted if any right-minded man applauded the conduct of those who joined in it, and thereby prolonged that which every one would wish to see stopped. (Hear, hear.) He had no wish to say anything about the United States Government or army. He cared not what government a country had so long as it protected industry, was just, and gave the necessary amount of pro tection and happiness to its people; and with regard to the American army, and also the Southern army, they had shown themselves to be composed of men whose fighting had not been equalled ; but he could not help thinking that it would be more just towards them) bravo men that their numbers should not be added to by men who had nothing to do with the struggle that was now raging in America. (Hear, hear.) It was time that this struggle should cease, and he thought we ought to do everything in our power to prevent those evils being increased by the emigration of our people to America. (Hear.) There were now on both sides widows, sisters, and brothers wishing and crying out, though not so audibly as they could desire, for peace—(hear)—and it was our duty to prevent, as far as we could, any fuel being added to the devouring flame. (Hear ) What was the opinion of the man who was best com petent to pronounce an opinion upon this subject? Earl Russell, in his despatch to Lord Lyo ns, dated May 27, 1861, referred to the case of Irishmen enlisted at Portland and Boston for the American army, and said it appeared to her Majesty's Government to be clear, from the reports received from her Majesty's consuls at those ports, that those en listments were effected by the most fraudulent schemes, and contrived and executed in disregard of the neutral rights of Great Britain. It appeared that when they landed at Portland the unfortunate emigrants were plied with drink. They were then dealt with in a manner which made it natural that they should yield to the temp tations and persuasions of the recruiting officers, who obtained access to them by the aid of the police autho rities. Those facts having come to his (Lord E. Howard's) knowledge, he felt it to be only his duty to bring the ques tion before the house with the view of warning those who might still be seduced into those ruinous engagements. He thought that the Secretary for the Colonies might be better able to warn the public generally through the many emigration agents against this abominable eystem. The. right hon. gentleman, he believed, had applied to the agents at Liverpool on the subject, but they said that they could not aid him in his object. He held in his hand a card distributed by those agents, headed " Notice to Emigrants," which, as far as it went, was very good and unobjectionable. But at the bottom of it he observed a very significant notice—" Remember that in America a dollar is equal to 4s. 2d. English money, and that a cent is equal to one farthing." (Laughter.) Now, he thought there ought to be some special warning to the public in respect to that particular point, inasmuch as we all knew that an American dollar was worth nothing like 4s in English money at the present time. It was a mere ques tion of humanity to do all they could to prevent some of those poor wretches from enlisting in the United Stales army, and by doing so to assist in preventing that unneces sary effusion of blood which was a disgrace to humanity. He did not wish to utter any threats, At the same time the United States Government ought to know that our resources were ample, and that we were in a position to become, if ne cessary, the arbiters of the wo rld. If it were p ossible he should like the Governmen t to g ive some ex p ression of 1 opinion upon the subject; but, at all events, he felt certain the Foreign-office would do all that was possible to ' I protect those who had been kidnapped from their native I land to take part in a war w hich was a dis g race to both of the contending parties. Me LAYA RD said the noble lord had done good service in calling attention to the subject of emigration to America. He could not see how many of the difficulties mentioned by the noble lord were to be avoided, but he advised the greatest caution to be observed by all quitting their native land. The Government had directed the proper authori ties to do all that was possible to protect English emigrants, but at the sane time he hoped that those parties who wont to America, because it was idle to suppose that emigration could be stopped, to exercise the greatest discretion. The emigration officers, the noble lord might rest assured, would do all in their power to prevent unfair practices, but he felt certain that blame was not to be attributed to the Ame rican Government. He would willingly give the papers the noble lord desired. Mr F. HENNESSY, seeing the Secretary for Ireland in his place, wished to know whether the emigration from Cork, to enlist in the American army, was going on at the present time to the same extent as it was at the beginning of the year ?
